Is It That Time Again? Military Conducting Training Exercises In And Around Boston

Sooner or later it was inevitable. Next up: the "tea party" lives up to its true name.

**MEDIA ALERT** Military Training Exercises to Take Place In and Around Boston | | More For Immediate Release July 25, 2011 Released By: Mayor’s Office For More Information Contact: Mayor’s Press OfficePress.Office@cityofboston.gov

Joint federal military training exercises will take place within and around the Boston area between July 26th and August 5th. Military personnel will conduct training exercises to ensure the military’s ability to operate in urban environments, prepare forces for upcoming overseas deployments, and meet mandatory training certification requirements. Helicopters will be used in some exercises.

The Boston Police Department is working with military personnel to coordinate training sites that will minimize negative impacts on our Boston citizens and their daily routines. Safety precautions have been taken to prevent risk to the general public and the military personnel involved. With that, training site locations are not open to the public and will be guarded by uniformed personnel to provide additional safety.

Bullshit! This is a trial balloon to see how the sheeple react. And we know how they'll react: "Nothing to worry about...our brave boys need training in urban warfare before they go to the deserts of Libya and Syria". Bullshit, again, I say.

We can speculate all day about what it might be, but the fact that they came out and said "upcoming overseas deployments" is itself very unsettling. Boston is the most "European" city in the USA; it's one of the oldest and has little of the grid pattern prominent in the rest of the continent. Its coastal location probably factors in too. Traffic is a nightmare though, which is probably why they are using helicopters.... quickly, before oil gets any more expensive!

I have lived in boston, new york, chicago, LA, and i have noticed that by far the boston population is the most politically aware and acive society i have ever been around. My cousin works as janitor at an elementary and is also a taxi driver, He is very educated, no college degree but reads alot, he is an example of the people who live there. In my opinion that city will be the toughest to baffle with bullshit so they start with intimidation first, showing the capabilities, will make easier to control that population with a military exercise recently in their mind

That's certainly possible, but I can't get onboard 100% unless other major cities in the US are conducting/preparing for the same "Military Training" exercises. They're upto something, I don't know what.

I take the ferry into boston most every day right by the airport and into downtown financial district. Working from home today on the south shore. They have a big Homeland Security office right near my office and occasionally they have lots of jackbooted dudes all gunned up riding our ferry into town.

Whenever it happens I get worried about a false flag and am thinking about how I will jump ship under certain situations.

These exercises just happened to have been planned on both 9/11 (hijakcing scenario), 7/7 the underground bombing in London (train bombing scenario), and 4/4/04 in Madrid where anti-terror NATO exercises finish just before bombs go off. I wouldn't want to be in Boston...

Either a false flag or the continued preparation for martial law (they won't call it that, but Posse Comitatus means shot now). The oligarchs must protect their pedestal

Since the "Dirty bomb" has been drummed into our subconscious for the last few years, if anyone in the Boston area sees NEST helicopters - Blue/silver Bell 412 (They usually have side mounted pods hanging outside to detect radiation), then please let us know before evacuating to a safe area (50miles+).

National Security means ( Lawful Government Security ),do you actually think the Military of the USA would support an overthrow of our form of Govt in place for 235 yrs?.) to institute Fascism, or Communism?.

That's not what they signed on for.For sure the people I know that are in, and out.

The Chinese can pound sand. They do their posturing about the debt, what else can they do or say? They knew what they were doing just like we did. We knew we were playing a game of funny money allowing us to live beyond our means and the chinese leadership were perfectly happy to "pay" slaves (or allow multinationals to pay slave) to make stuff that we don't really need. When the music stops, they'll have a 1.3 billion people to feed, we only have 300 million. The fiction that the chinese will be our new overlords is just that, fiction. We'll flip them the middle finger at some point and it'll be on like Donkey Kong. Does the Chinese military want to tangle with ours? Prolly? They will eventually not have much of choice. By the way, as I read this before posting, this shouldn't be interpreted as an America Fuck Ya post... the whole thing is disgusting, though completely predictable.

I'm a little surprised by the negative responses. It wasn't a pro America post, it was a china knew what it was doing all along post. The fact that the masses don't understand what the peg has done to support the US getting cheap shit from China and China pouring dollars back to the US for treasuries doesn't change the reality. It's the same as petro dollar recycling. The Chinese, like the rest of us, should have known all along that this wasn't a sustainable model. What does China have to be mad about? The Chinese "elite" made out just fine... they were the ones who were complicit in the Ponzi scheme. They are now actors showing their disbelief that America could be so undisciplined in the creation of the Ponzi scheme. So it ends in war... the Chinese send their peasants to fight our peasants... same as it ever was.

Exactly. I hope the sheep didnt think all of the heavy machinary being moved around was for training exercises for the Russians invading us... THEY are getting ready for MARTIAL LAW in this country when TSHTF which should be in a few weeks.... I really hope you guys on ZH are ready... bless you all!!

TSA Patdowns, facial recognition scan, and urinalysis will be conducted in order to ensure no terrorists will be allowed into the FEMA Camp - Fort Devens - New prison a factory facilities and reservoir that have been built around the camp. It was constructed last year and the railroad had to reconstruct tracks into the prison from Canada and from Boston. Livingston

They need to practice in a city that represents all those in the middle east with so many tall buildings and modern infrastructure - yeah right - like Boston is remotely close to resembling anything in the MENA. Fucking bullshit is what this is.

The two I am thinking of, the Hancock Tower and the Prudential, have plenty of asbestos left in them. The Hancock Tower is one of several of their buildings I worked in as an environmental consultant. There was plenty of ACM. The Prudential had a fire caused by an asbestos abatement contractor on or shortly after 9/11. The whole building was evacuated and panic ensued.

Now that I think about it, I was wrong about one thing: the Tea Party would attack the protestors with clubs for being ANTI-CAPITALIST.

The original Boston Tea Party was a protest against the East Indies Company, a huge multi-national company with a government sanctioned monopoly, not against taxes. That's why today's Tea Party would be against the protest.

This is especially true since both communism and fascism arise with the specific agenda of fighting the other.

Therefore, your group being violently opposed to communists (to the point of violence) does not preclude it from being fascist (and visa versa). In fact, that tendency is a necessary component of fascism.

Saying that one is no different from the other not only ignores all historical precendent, but is a dangerous fallacy to accept because it blinds you from the inherant political dangers.

no they dont, A FASCIST group, the Nationalist Socialists did so, but that's only because they needed a scape goat to attack and get people to back them.

Fascism is in fact very strongly bound to socialism, and shares another trait with communism, namely totalitarianism.

That being said, true Capitalism is also absurd and has never really existed, though we are a lot further away from it today.

The US is very much heading in a Fascist direction, with strong power centralized in the state, and the strong corporate state connections.

All they need is a common enemy, (muslim terrorists, the chinese), to start a new sheeple driven false nationalist movement, and you could have the party you have always dreamed of: The American, Nationalist, Socilaist party.

The Tea Party is libertarian, which is a philosophy, and tends towards the idea of Capitalism because it is ideally not a form of control, but freedom to act. It also tends toward Republic-anism (not republicans), as opposed to Democracy. Again, this being targeted towards, equal rights for all, instead of majority imposes its will on the rest.

The only fallacy is your ego, its got no intelligence or knowledge to back it up. You have a Fiat ego, printed on federal reserve notes son. Better check your head for tungsten....you done got robbed.

You got a couple things right: 1) that both communism and fascism are totalitarian, and 2) that we are drifting towards fascism, and 3) Capitalism (big C) either hasn't existed in America, or hasn't existed in a very long time.

But after that you got a bunch of things wrong. Namely, that fascism is just socialism by another name. Don't get hung up on the words "National Socialism". If you believe what a political party calls itself, then you will believe that former East Germany was a "Democratic Republic".

Instead, look at who they targeted as enemies first. In Nazi Germany it was communists and socialists that populated the concentration camps first, and then outlawed labor unions. Later on, large corporations, which funded Hitler's rise, made a killing on war machine contracts.

In Italy, the Blackshirts were beating up labor leaders and socialists, while promoting tax breaks to the rich and large corporations. Italy also bailed out the banks when they got into trouble.

The key difference between fascism and socialism is that one makes large corporations a friend, and the other makes it an enemy. Socialism, when it drifts far enough to the left, outlaws labor unions just like fascism does from the beginning. They both become totalitarian, the difference is who makes the profits.

One other thing you missed by a mile, is that socialism does NOT promote nationalism. Fascism does. In fact, nationalism is a key ingredient of fascism, while socialism rejects it.

So instead of bashing whatever you think I represent and calling me names, spend some time doing your homework.

No, it's you who show your utter ignorance. Do you even know what the Tea Act did?Obviously not.

It allowed the East Indies Company to import tea TAX FREE into the colonies, but ONLY the East Indies Company. In other words, it was a TAX CUT in the form of a tax subsidy for a multi-national corporation.

The reason the colonists were unhappy with getting their tea cheaper was because it would drive out all the small businesses.

This is exactly the OPPOSITE of what the current Tea Party ideology supports.

And yes, socialism and fascism are two different things. The proof is that fascism ALWAYS forms around the idea of fighting socialism (usually by killing socialists and communists) and supporting big business.

You, like most Tea Party members, don't know these basic facts of history.

And you have apparently had your head firmly up your ass since at least the "Obamacare" recess. Here is the basic fact of recent history (going to your original point). The only people who have been able to intimidate or throw down with impunity have been a) New Black Panthers, or b) SEIU thugs in purple.

I understand you're scared Nancy, the bad people don't want to hyperinflate the currency to indulge your societal fantasies, but not to worry - it will happen anyway.

nope. its no joke. they do this from time to time around the country. they did it several years ago in texas. have not seen this in a while around here though. the men dressed in black are showing us what they can do if we get out of line........oh yeh?

This is interesting, a couple of days ago I saw a large military force moving south on interstate 81 in Virginia. 81 is a major travel route and we do see military hardware move up and down it, but it is never armed. The stuff I saw this last time was armed and I made a comment about it to my wife that I thought that was odd. These guys were not heading towards Boston. I think something is up, did the head of the department of homeland security just a couple of days ago make comments at a news conference regarding home grown terrorist? Get ready, TSA check points coming to a town near you....

6 Equipment - "Clarify, complete, and expand on previous entries. Include information about equipment involved, tactics used, and any other essential elements of information (EEI) not already reported in the previous lines."

So, what made this convoy "armed" vs. other convoys he has seen? Did they have .50 cals on ring mounts? Pointing M4s out the windows? When I was in the Army, we always convoyed armed, and that was a support unit. I doubt that any Army or Marine unit ever convoys unarmed.

Sorry guys just noticed everyones questions, will try to answer all of them. This was a convoy, maybe twenty vehicals, kind of spread out, mostly Humvees, but there were two of the big 8 wheel things and they had 5o Cals on them. Plus there where two trucks hauling big fucking cannons. They were hauling ass, didn't realize the 8 wheel jobs could go that fast. There were soldiers sitting on top of the 8 wheelers in full gear. In the past I have seen some of these type of vehicals but they never had any type of weapons displayed. Even when I see tanks being transported they dont have the weapons installed. Like they are being shipped someplace to have that done. Just telling you what I saw. I have worked for the army in the past and have seen them do training exercises where they looked like what I saw. But like I said the guys were not heading towards boston, they were not even heading north. This was on I81 heading south towards Winchester VA (just outside of that city).

Thank you for the response. The big 8 wheelers could be LAV-25 used by the Marines, or maybe HEMTT (4 wheels rear, 4 wheels in front which all steer) or something else. I used to drive HEMTTs, they can go much faster than the published speed. In Germany, the HEMTTs would convoy separately from the deuce and a half and five tons because they were so slow.

What my previous post alluded to was a total population(or huge majority) with a gut full of Politics as usual.Not an internal thug on thug war, with roving gangs/bands maiming/murdering other Americans.

The jist is IF the Govt, END AROUNDS the Constitution, and tries to forcibly change our,as well as the military's form of Govt,fought for for 235 yrs ,then all bets are off.

If the Military goes against the WILL OF THE people as a whole....................then we will have no nation period.

I do not see this happening.(they have friends, families, lives and have come to appreciate our way of life, as most others have likely even more.They have been fighting terrorist cells, not their neighbors, and relatives.

Order,not toal chaos will reign, if the PTB are not OVERTHROWING/CHANGING our current form of Govt, and the Const of the US of A.The Pols may have ignored it,but rest assured the Military has not.

The Military did not sign on to destroy that which so may have died for.

$80 Billion per annum you say? Actually, that sounds like a very good US Defense Department/Security apparatus budget, and save the rest of $500+ spent "to defend us."

We're channelling Smedley Buttler here: "I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag."

& here: “War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses."

Have you had just about enough of the latest BS (you know what it is) and want to get out of the military within 10 days with an Honourable Discharge?

This is a proven method that has worked perfectly for decades and was used by politicians and elites to keep their Sons out of the Military Draft or get them out posthaste when they got orders sending them to a war zone. This little known loophole in the UCMJ provides this option and it will not cost you anything. This is all detailed at the following link.

As an ordained Dudeist Priest, you can minister over religious ceremonies in most U.S. States (laws vary, so check with your local County Clerk first), and assorted other countries."

Preside over a wedding, funeral, or any kind of celebration with pride and authority.

Or just kick back and enjoy the knowledge that you’re an ordained minister at one of the most easygoing religions in the world. There are currently over 100,000 Dudeist Priests world-wide. Help spread the Dude word!

the Tea Partiers, same as the original protest itself, want less tax ..that's the opposite end of wanting more social security suggesting TP's are net contributors as apposed net parasites don't you think? . . . you do think before you speak uh?!!

In the home town of the "Liberal Lion" (May he burn in hell) I think you are right Sheep. The "Give me Liberty or Give me Death!" crowd doesn't reside in New England anymore. It has moved south and west. I still have a little faith in the "Hornets' Nest" here in the Queen City area (not the city itself mind you, but the surrounding rural areas). The hint of Martial Law would not sit well 'round here.

[...the old tea party which kidnapped and killed politicians...]---SheepDog-One

Kidnapped and killed politicians? SheepDog, please provide a source to that misinformation.

The "Tea Party" of Boston 1773 was an event, not a political party. In fact, there were similar acts of rebellion in other colonist harbors, e.g. NY.

The "Tea Party" event in Boston was planned and conducted primarily by members of a radical group of colonial loyalists, Sons of Liberty. (Note the flag of Sons of Liberty was distinguished by 13 horizontal stripes, 7 red and 6 white.)

"The destruction of tea was not a violent protest. The ships’ crews attested that nothing had been damaged or destroyed except the tea - and the protesters swept the decks clean afterwards. The Massachusetts Gazette even reported that when it was realized that a padlock that had been broken was the personal property of one of the ships’ captains, a replacement was procured and sent to him."
